Chapter 256: Border Bazaar
"It's getting lively, I remember when I was a kid when I first went to the Huangyu Empire with my father, it was still a heavily guarded fortress, and now it looks like a bustling commercial city. William, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the bustling city outside the car window, hugged left and right while not forgetting to sigh. Sheila's desperate efforts to protect Eve and Tina in the face of the "evil of this world" a month ago finally paid off, and now the mother and daughter have fully accepted her existence, although she didn't think much about it at the time, and the result is nothing short of a surprise for her.
"You remember so long ago, when Brother Will hadn't come under your father's door. Eve's words obviously have a deep meaning, which can be seen from the smile on the corner of her mouth.
"How could I have forgotten that I didn't pick up your brother and sister on that return trip. William remembers the two peers who wanted to hitchhike, the brother and sister who depended on each other, "but Ian...... It's a shame. He was just addicted to magical spells during the initial period, and then he was just afraid that you would be bullied with me, and he wanted to crush me in strength, so that he could protect you at any time, who would like to ...... Alas. ”
“...... Brother, when you go back this time, can you go with me to the 'Sin City' to see him?" Ian's matter has always been Eve's heart knot, and even William's brother who is in the "Origin Realm" and is dominated by obsession is also mainly responsible. Eve mentioned that Ian was touching the scene this time, and deliberately used a relaxed tone, but it was obviously not very successful, and the good mood of the family traveling together was still affected.
"Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against Ian. William's eyes were still looking at the bustling street scene outside the carriage, but his thoughts had already drifted into the distance—he remembered the boy who was always in front of his sister, and the resentment he had had had finally completely vanished," ...... Like you said, let's go and worship after we go back this time, and take Tina with you. ”
"Well......" Eve thought she would be thrilled to hear William's answer, but in fact she only felt warm and peaceful—her brother had become a memory and was buried in her heart, "Take Sheila with you, she...... It's also our family. ”
......
"Liu Li, come and see, how about this, is it suitable for Blazer?" After the girl with her dazzling blonde hair tied into a ponytail stayed in the carriage for a while, she finally couldn't stand the atmosphere and didn't continue to disturb the three people who were caught in the "world of three". At this time, Tina was dragging Nana, enjoying the fun of shopping like a pair of real sisters.
The family's trip was originally to relax, because no one stopped Tina's behavior, and William also wanted his new apprentice to behave naturally and not always wear a dignified and elegant "mask" on his face. Now it seems that this has paid off, and the smile on Nana's face is almost no longer visible in disguise, but from the heart, and it is clear that it would be a good idea to let her have more contact with her daughter.
It's just that William's decision made Liu Li bitter, whether it was Tina or Nana, the two girls obviously didn't like to go shopping with the guards. Liu Li had never been so glad for the "mutation" of his storage space, if it had been placed on an ordinary mid-level spellcaster, it would have been "stuffed" by them an hour ago.
"Ah, don't worry, as long as it's a gift you bring back, whether it's suitable for him or not, that second goods will be very happy. Liu Li responded to Tina absent-mindedly, but his attention was on the endless flow of people, he himself was not very interested in shopping, but many things that he had never seen and heard were still dazzling, and there were many goods with local characteristics, which made him also have a feeling of brightness.
While walking and watching, when Tina and Nana's attention was attracted by some special Sea Clan accessories, Liu Li was in an ordinary stall, faintly perceiving a familiar spell fluctuation.
"What's the price of this stone?" Liu Li asked as he picked up a spherical gem with a diameter of no more than three centimeters. It was a gem, but it wasn't very beautiful, not only was the surface dull, but there was a black crack in the center. However, the vendor apparently asked the caster to identify the object, so he dared to put it out in a grand manner, and even created a delicate wooden box for it to show its preciousness.
"Oh, you have such a good eye, this thing is not ordinary. Seeing that a fat sheep came to the door, the vendor introduced his goods with a smile, "At that time, in order to get it, the entire 'Sea Shark' adventure group folded in, but I have asked a high-level spellcaster to identify this thing, don't look at its surface is mediocre, it actually contains a huge amount of blue elements, as long as a little processing, you can make a powerful magic storage item." ”
"I see that you are wearing a magic robe, you have just become a spellcaster, you can detect its extraordinary, it proves that you are very talented, you can take this thing to your teacher, and ask him to help you make a magic storage item, whether it is an assessment or a trial in the future, it will be absolutely invincible......" The vendor was still gushing introducing, but his voice was getting quieter and quieter, and he noticed that the young man in front of him was not paying attention to his words at all.
"Huh?" It wasn't until the vendor stopped for a long time that Liu Li finally reacted. He didn't believe what the vendor said, but with his own spiritual power, he could sense the extraordinaryness of this "jewel". Liu Li naturally didn't show joy on his face, but asked in a flat tone with a lack of interest: "So, how much?"
“...... Ahem, one hundred and twenty gold coins, no less, the pension given to the 'Sea Shark' adventure group was more than 100 pieces, and I was completely losing money. Seeing that Liu Li finally had a reaction, the stall owner began to talk again after giving an offer. There was a lot of water in his words just now, but he had indeed asked the caster to identify this gem, although it was only a mid-level hermitage cultivator, but he had also made a great name in the Huangyu Empire because of his keen perception.
According to the mage, there was a lot of blue in this gem, but it was extremely quiet, and it was very difficult to guide it. What made him helpless the most was that the hermitage had made the appraisal results almost known to the point that in order to continue to make a name for himself. This thing has been pressed in his hands for several years, and he can only try his luck in the commercial cities on the border to see if he can meet a "knowledgeable" Kronos fat sheep.
"Oh, then you can keep it and keep selling. Liu Li was about to leave, without the slightest nostalgia. He has never been short of gold coins who dare to fight hard with the high-level, even if he removed the "pocket money" given by the two teachers, he has saved a lot of belongings in the past few years of performing the tasks of witches outside, and he has saved a lot of belongings in the process of running around, and only one hundred and twenty gold coins are not taken into his eyes at all. It's just that Liu Li also understands the truth that wealth is not exposed, there are not many people on the Aode Continent who can recognize this gem, but he also has to guard against it, he doesn't want others to know that this thing finally falls into his hands, and it would be better if he didn't attract the attention of others.
"Hey, wait!" The stall owner wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly stopped Liu Li, he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to sell this stone, and he was indeed short of a fund recently...... "One hundred gold coins, it really can't be lower." ”
Liu Li is also very helpless, he also wants to choose something that looks good in this stall, and finally let the vendor put this "gem" on the sweetness, and see that the protagonists in the network do this before traveling. How can I look at the position of everything and know that the whole stall is nothing more valuable than this, so the plan died before it could be implemented.
......
"What's the matter, Liu Li, what treasure have you found?" Tina had long noticed Liu Li's conversation with the vendors, but she received a summons from Liu Li on the "Psychic Communication" network, asking them not to show up for the time being, so she couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart. However, this curiosity could no longer be held back after the transaction was completed, and Liu Li had already left the vendor's sight, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Ah, an unexpected surprise, I really didn't expect such a good thing in this bazaar, but it is very suitable as a gift. ”
"A gift for whom?"
"Uh...... For Fei Li, this gem is of the same origin as her 'Wind King's Pupil', and when fused, it will make that strange thing even more powerful. After carefully probing in the "omnipotent" state, Liu Li finally confirmed the guess in his mind - the blue element in this gem operates in the same way as Fei Li's "Wind King's Pupil", and it is not difficult to use the "illusory" nature of the blue element to fuse.
"Okay, I actually picked out gifts for other girls with my squirrel sister behind my back!" Tina finally caught Liu Li's handle and smiled arrogantly: "It's okay if you want me to help you keep a secret, as long as you help me and Nana settle the accounts of the few ornaments I just fancied, I will treat this matter as if I didn't see it." ”
"Anyway, Uncle William gave you a lot of money...... Alright, alright, I'll buy it for you!" Liu Li wisely chose to surrender, and he saw a threatening look in Tina's eyes.
"Hmph, how can I be happy with the gifts given by others when I buy them. Tina muttered something quietly, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Ah, forget it, you can just give Nana a gift, mine I'd better wait until I go back to Blazer......"
Liu Li had never felt that Tina and Blazer were so compatible...... To the extent of committing two.
......
While Liu Li was wandering around the market with the two girls, Landolia was receiving a distinguished guest in her villa.
"Ancestor Croces, when are we leaving?" Landolia respects the primeval Black Dragon King, but she doesn't have the slightest inhibitions when she gets along, and adding a "ancestor" to each salutation is already the only respect.
"You little girl, I've done so much for you since I came, it's strengthening the elemental pool, it's strengthening the mage tower, and now I'm just done with it, not only didn't I say a word of thanks, didn't you even let me rest for a while?"
"Ahem, you're the great King of the Ancient Black Dragons, so this cost isn't a problem for you......" Landolia said as she patted Crohyth on the shoulder, not caring about the identity of the other party's ancestor.
"Why is there such a strange girl as you in my juniors......" Crohyth's expression was devastated, it was enough for Landoria to be proud of herself if she could force the primeval Black Dragon King to this point, "But it's time to go, I can go back sooner if I solve the problem in the south as soon as possible." ”
"Then let's go now, I have learned a lot from you in the past month, and I need some time to settle down. ”
"Well, little Landuo, when this side is done, do you want to ...... Go home and see?"
"Home...... "Landolia hesitated for a moment, she was an extremely well-behaved princess before she crossed over to the Ode Continent, and now her personality has become not unconscious, she is a little worried about making her father, who she hasn't seen for a long time, angry, "Let's see when the time comes......"
